Talking about American Card Catalogs

[Leon]

Hi Jeffrompa
Thanks for sharing that 1954 one. I am going to have to check my later supplements but all of the earlier ones say "Supplement" on them. Does that one say that on one of the other pages? The reason I ask is because this one you showed looks like more of a series to me, with the volume and no. . It does have a lot of price changes so I can't imagine it being anything else, unless it's the first price guide, pre-Beckett .

Also, I would have thought it would say "American Card Catalog" and not "Collector"?

The catalog is the catlalog -- and these were updates and other things -- thus thie name difference to collector makes perfect sense

In looking back at several, newer and older supplements/additions/updates, it does seem they are called different things. Thanks for the help....

Is American Card Collector in fact related to the ACC? I have seen it in lists of old hobby mags but the type looks completely different than the one used in the ACC, IMHO.

I am still not 100% comfortable with that being a supplement. It makes no sense whatsoever to have a volume and no. on a supplement. None....

That being said there were different names for the supplements I have.....They were called -

1940 - Catalog Supplement
1941 - Catalog Supplement/Catalog Additions and Corrections
1942- Catalog Additions and Corrections
1943 - Catalog Supplement

However, one I have that is a mimeograph for 1955 says-
Further Additions - The Detroit Handbook - June 1955

I know I have more but need to look around some. Stuff is scattered everywhere right now . The last one I have at hand is from 1960 and says-
First Catalog Additions to 1960 Catalog

I will look around some more soon and see what more I can find. But my first thought above should be taken into account. I have seen 0 additions/supplements/Corrections that say they are a Volume and No., except above. BTW, I am not dissing on the item Jeffrompa showed, just a friendly debate. That is a neat item and certainly worthy of discussion.

Leon, is that Detroit update in fact an update for Burdick's History of Detroit Publishing Co. Postcards book? I'll bet it is. So it's not an ACC update but it IS a Burdick publication.

Dave- I just checked again. My blue hardback, like the one listed in the auction (I think), is dated 1960. I use the green copy one every day and it is dated 1988.

I will have to check that other question....not sure.

aha....I see the one listed on ebay is a soft cover. It probably is a 1967 then. It's confusing as the 1960 hard cover edition has a book cover that looks exactly like that 1967 reprint.
